Hi and welcome.
I have a small petting zoo in my apartment too!
We have cats, reptiles, and small furry critters. As long as you have a safe cat-free room for your bird to come out and get individual attention daily, it can work, but parrots do need out-of-the-cage time and attention, so think about it. I had a baby Meyers and I felt we didn't have enough time for him, so we re-homed him. I felt awful in my "failing" him but I didn't think having a young bird who needed lots of work and attention was fair to the bird.
My significant other and I now make sure one of us spends at least an hour a night with Jack (our brownheaded parrot who is older and is already fully hand-trained etc) and he gets at least 2 hours out of the cage.
Whatever you decide, this is a GREAT site with wonderful and knowledgable people so don't be afraid to ask questions!
